It is followed by gasoline, acetic acid, chloromethanes,
dimethyl ether and Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE)/Tertiary Amyl Methyl Ether (TAME).
Moreover, CO2 has been seen as a plentiful feedstock for the manufacture of many chemicals and transportation fuels such as methanol,
dimethyl ether and their useful derivatives.
Early indications from sampling of the liquid indicates the presence of ethyl alcohol,
dimethyl ether and trichloro methane, a highly flammable mixture which should not be stored in a domestic property.
EPA has also added one of the more toxic of these ethylene glycol ethers, ethylene glycol
dimethyl ether (monoglyme), to the Work Plan for Chemical Assessments.

Dimethyl Ether (DME), also known as methyl ether, is a colourless non-toxic gas which is easy to liquefy and transport.
It is also used to produce
dimethyl ether, which has taken the place of chlorofiuro-carbons (CFCs) as an aerosol spray propellant because of the impact of CFCs on the ozone layer.
According to the statement, the widespread introduction of a clean-burning synthetic fuel,
dimethyl ether (DME), is a step closer following the announcement of a 6 million-U.S.
